The problem even for a massive boots on the ground invasion: With todays drone technology a single FPV drone will suffice to sink a CNG tanker. With the narrow Hormus street a fiber optic guidance will do which if not vulnerable to any EW methods. So how the US will be able to open Hormus? They dug into an extremely asymmetric threat hole. Why did they allowed this to happen? The war in Ukraine clearly showed the danger. Todays battlefield has a 10-30km drone kill all zone. Over water even more.
